To an American who loves his coun-
try better than any party, and who de-
sires to see the nation united and pros.
porous, the preseut attitude of the South
is cheering sight. 1t is like the fulfill
ment of long cheri-hed hope, and it
marks the beginning of new era in the
history of this land. For more than
half century there has been state of
tension between the North and South,
and mutual jealousies have interfered
with national development and national
aspirations. Now that all these causes
have been removed and that there is
only that healthy emulation which is
necessary to induce both the North and
the South to put forth their best efforts,
what may we not expect in the way of
growth and progress?-[B Brooklyn Eagle.

RAINS AND CROPS.
What Los Angeles Farmers
Think OF the Out look.

The rainfall by the late precipitation
amounts by the Signal Service guage tc
twenty hundredths of an inch. Mr.. o. HI.
Bliss catches eighteen hundredths, and
Mr.. Ducommun reports twenty. two hun
dredths.
The indications favored o much larger
amounts of rain. and in nearly all parts
of the State above the Tehachepe more
fell. Throughout Southern California
the precipitation was not greatly differ.
ent from that in this city.
A HERALD reporter yesterday inter-
viewed q large number of farmers in
from the country, as to the outlook af-
ter the shower. Their views are well
summarized in the following statements
made by one of the Oldest and most in.
telligent farmers in the San Gabriel val.
ley. He has been engaged in the bust.
ness OF grain growing on our
mesas for nearly o score of years.
He begins by the general
statement. Of course the. only things in
doubt at all are the pastures and the
grain fields on the mesas. As to these,
up to the time of the night before last,
there was not an acre which had begun
to show any indication of failure in any
respect. Where the grain was above
ground, the young plant was green and
manifested all the signs Of vigor.
As to the rain, while farmers hoped
to see much larger precipitation, still
it will do for the present. Said
the person referred to: II will tell you
just what the few showers will do.
They will keep the grain growing and
will feed it's growth with plenty of
moisture for fully six weeks to come.
Thus should no rain fall between the
present moment and the lst of March
that date will find the grass on the hills
started and the grain on the mesas do.
ing well. The blade will not show
rank growth, but it will be in vigorous,
healthy condition. If during March
and April we get two or three more
such showers the grain crop will
be very fair one. know what it
will be, for have seen such years be-
fore. The straw is short but the heads
are full of grain.
Now, January is not usually q rainy
month. 1t is more frequently dry,
period between the fall and
the spring tains. February is much |
more promising month for rain than the |
present one. March is also very good |
month for rain. We will get quite sufi.
cient rain to mature our grain crops this
year."

Digging Up Yines.

Rumor has it that certain rancher At
San Gabriel, whose experience in this
section is limited, is now engaged IN
digging up the vines off some ten aores
or more of the place he purchased few
years ago. These vines are of the Red
Emperor variety, of which the plant
hereabouts is very limited. These arc
known as the best Of all grapes
for the purpose Of shipping
an naturel to the East. Now this e
certainly . very grave mistake. There
is no industry in the land of more prom
ising future than this of raising grapes
for the Eastern market. They will 20
by the train load at no distant day, and
they will pay immense profits.

DIR. mcGLYNN.
His sParishioners are Not Allowed
tO See Him.

NEW YORK, January 20.-The Com
D,ercial. A duertiser gives the following
as the substance of a note written by
Archbishop Corrigan to the committee
of st. Stephens Parish in reply for an
audience in regard to the McGiynn case:
The Archbishop began his epistle,
which was couched in very courteous
terms, with the remark thstit was un.
usual for soldiers to ask their generals
reasons for their or iers, aud it was the
part of every subordinate, especially in
the Catholic Church, to obey the com.
mand of his superiors. He reminded
the committee that he too was under an
authority to whom he was accountable,
and whose orders he obeyed. He says
he has withheld from the public his rea-
sons and all information in regard to the
removal of DR.. McGlynn. but owing to
the deep interest felt in their pastor he
had deter mined on one condition to give
the parishoners Of st. Stephens Church,
through this committee the information
they desire. The condition is that the
committee shall obtain from DR.. Nc
Glynn written consent that the reasons
for his removal shall be made public.
The letter also conveyed the important
information that no new order had
lately come from Rome permanently
suspending DIR. McGiynn from his
priestly Office. A telegram WIS re-
ceived by the Archbishop on Tuesday
from the Propaganda instfucting him to
hasten DIR. McGlynn's departure for
Rome. This had been the only recent
communication in the matter from
the Vatican and was the sole
foundation for the report that
DIR. McGlynn had been unfrocked.
In connection with this order from the
Papal tribunal the Archbishop in his
letter expressed hope that the loyal
members Of st. Step sn's Church will
manifest their love for sLeir pastor by
assisting the Archbishop in his efforts to
secure DIR. GlynD's early departure. The
committee were not permitted to see DR..
McGlynn, but sent him a note and he
promised TO write and advise them what
10 do.
a long statement given out tonight
by an intimate friend of DIR. McGlynn is
by that Reverend gentleman
in regard to his trouble. Stripped OF
its verbiage it is to the effect that ever
since his summons to Rome the state of
his health has been such that his pbysi-
clan has absolutely forbidden him to
make a journey. and he .hinks it cruel
tug another demand should be made on
him in his present physical condition.
He gives no iniimation as to whether he
would 20 were he well.

LEeIsLaTlvE NOTES.
A Favorable Report ON our Judi
cial Bill.

SACRAMENTO, January 2O.-The judi
ciary Committee, this afternoon, agreed
to report favorable on bills allowing an
additional Superior Judge for San Ber-
nardino county and two more for Los
Angeles county, one of the latter to hold
at least two sessions annually at Santa
Ana.
Views on the diversion of water for
irrigation were expressed by members Of
the Irrigation Committee of the Assem-
bly, at its meeting this morning. In the
afternoon J. L. Witcher appeared be-
fore the committee and spoke in favor
of canal through the San Joaquin v,l.
ley. He advocated an irrigation district
system the control of which would be
vested in the State. The canal he pro-
posed would be 300 miles in length,
would be connected with 10000 miles of
distributing bitches, would cost nine
million dollars and would supply six
million acres. Will S. Green, of Colusa,
favored the district system as more feas-
ible, but thought the State control plan
too cumbersome. R. l.. Dunn of Placer,
also spoke ON the subject.

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.
The Rain Continues to Fall-We

Is ,ectai to the Herald by the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, January 2O.-The
California Fruit Union resumed its ses
sion at Irving Hall this morning. The
committee appointed to wait on Mr.
Towne in relation to Eas tern freight
rates made report. The report was to
the effect that Mr.. Towne was in favor
of making fast freight rate on green
fruit to Chicago of $500 car in ten-ca,
trains. All definite action in the matter
would have to be deferred, however,
until the effect of the Interstate Com.
merce bill was known. Mr.. Towne was
apprehensive that the passage of the
bill, which is now certain, would pre-.
vent any present reduction in rates. Mr..
Towne also said that he thought slow
freight rates would be 5000 car.
G. Nj. Gray of Chico, Charm of the
Committee on By Laws, made a report.
An amendment to Section was recon-.
mended allowing shippers to become
members of the Union by taking 100
shares of stock, no shipper to be allowed
to own more than 500 shares. Al
amendment to Section was amended
by substituting the word mon producer"
for the word shipper" the word mon
producer" to mean any person who pur-
chases and ships fruit. The amendments
were adopted.
At the afternoon session of the Union
the proposed amendments to the laws
were again under consideration. John
Markley, of Sonoma, presented the fol-
lowing amendment to section 10:
"The Board of Trustees are authorized
to sell fruit at auction when in their
judgment they may think it best to do
so. Subscribers of stock shall contract
with other subscribers that they shall
not sell any fruits for Eastern ship
ment to any except members of said
Union Eastern shipments meaning east
of Ogden), reserving the right to sell
any and all fruits for any other pur-
pose."
The Convention then passed Mr.
Markley's amendment, giving the Board
of Directors power to either adopt or re-
ject the auction plan.
A resolution was adopted requesting
the Board of Trustees to give the auc.
tion plan of selling fruit fair trial. A
Board of Trustees to serve for the ensu.
ing year was then elected as follows: A.
7. Hatch, of Solano, HI. Weinstock, of
Sacramento, L. W. Buck, of Solano, p.
E. Platt, of Sacramento, w. Treat, of
Yolc, J. ID. Kellogg, of Placer, H. c.
